Real-World Embedded Systems, IoT Security, & Research ​

Since 2000 we've built hardware, firmware, cloud tooling and audit services that stay reliable in transport, automation and advanced-manufacturing projects.

Our Story ​

In 2000, Peer Stritzinger founded the company in Bavaria to solve tough firmware challenges for an automotive client. Over the next decade of embedded consultancy, we built deep expertise and delivered reliable firmware solutions. Our first in-house product was GRiSP, a unified hardware and software system that began life as a bare-metal board booting directly into Erlang. From that single board we grew a full ecosystem of modular hardware, ready-to-run BEAM runtimes, integrated cloud tooling and built-in IoT security to deliver dependable embedded systems in the real world.

In 2013 we demoed GRiSP at the Erlang User Conference; by 2017 the first production boards had shipped. Kickstarter backers helped fund GRiSP 2 in 2019, and in 2024 we launched GRiSP.io, our cloud to edge platform for managing connected systems. Peer Stritzinger GmbH is the company behind the GRiSP ecosystem, combining hardware, software stacks and tools for embedded Erlang and Elixir. Today our team divides its time between new hardware (GRiSP Nano), research and test environments and custom client solutions across transport and automation, many of which feed directly into our evolving GRiSP.io roadmap.

What We Do ​

How We Work ​

Dependability first ​

Designs aim for long operating life and predictable upkeep.

Open where possible ​

Specs, source and docs are public when licenses allow.

Security by design ​

We begin each engagement by mapping potential threats and requirements.

Community focus ​

We maintain open-source libraries and speak at conferences.
